28. it's actually for 800,000 lbs of ham packed into 2 lb packages.

my guess is it goes to the military, or VA hospitals, or government cafeterias or some such purpose. Or maybe food banks?

Or it may be the government buying surplus inventory to help keep the business afloat -- like farm subsidy? It is a Dept of Agriculture expenditure.
